    Lots of crops are like this, like apples! It’s called extreme heterozygosity.

      That’s the big word I couldn’t remember. I didn’t know apples were the same but that really makes sense now.

      One of the coolest thing about apples imo. All those varieties you love like granny Smith are literally just the same tree grafted over and over again.
